What is the cause?

‘Paws 4 the Cause NYC’ is currently in the process of becoming an official 501c3 non profit organization* with the goal of raising money and awareness for local animal rescue groups, and also to benefit the education of students in the veterinary field. It is formed by Erica Harmon and Lauren Gerrish – current students of the veterinary technology program at LAGCC (class of ’11) who, as expected, love animals and want to give back to them. ‘Paws’ has many other folks behind it who have been invaluable in bringing this vision and first event to fruition, and we hope it will be the first of many amazing things to come.

*What this means is that we can accept your donations, but cannot offer you a tax exempt form in this stage of our early development. We currently operate as a normal business because getting this special status can take up to a year or more these days!
